16. That's the number of weight-loss drugs industry analysts predict will be on the market by 2029. This means pharma companies working on these drugs need a plan to differentiate themselves. Our advice: start early. A couple of companies are already known for their leadership in the space. It takes time to build up a reputation and for stakeholders such as healthcare providers to associate a company with a disease area. We believe that the best time to begin product communications for a drug coming to market is at least two years prior to its launch. This includes not only communications around development milestones, but also disease education work as there remains significant cultural stigmas in society around weight and weight loss. What communications challenges are you seeing for weight-loss drugs? Share in the comments or reach out to our healthcare team at hello@currentglobal.com.

Apple has received much buzz after unveiling new health-related features in its Apple Watch and AirPods. And with good reason. Here are a few points Apple succeeded on that health tech companies should take note of: ➡️ Lead with a message of empowering patients: Apple has emphasized that features such as the first over-the-counter hearing aid software device through its AirPods enable patients to test their hearing to determine if they may be experiencing hearing loss. This positions patients to take charge of their health and seek out this application. ➡️ Don't forget about privacy: Apple has a long history of making privacy part of its corporate brand, and they made sure as part of their press release to include details about the end-to-end encryption of all of their health features used that make the data secure and can't be accessed even by the company itself. In recent years there has been increasing interest from regulators and the public in the need for privacy with digital tools. All health tech companies need to have a clear stance on how they are addressing this concern. ➡️ Opportunities for connecting patients with healthcare providers: The tools Apple has unveiled create opportunities for patients to go to their healthcare providers with more data on their health and have more dynamic conversations. However, if patients don't actually share this data with their providers and discuss their health challenges, then these tools will not have the greatest possible impact. This creates an opportunity for communications professionals in the health tech space to develop new campaigns that help patients advocate for their health given the increasing data patients can bring to their appointments. Our healthcare team loves to discuss how to communicate the latest health tech trends, challenges, and products. Reach out to us at hello@currentglobal.com.
